Clara Renner
History Clara Renner is the youngest child of Norm and Allison Renner,and the younger sister of Ashley, Ianto, and Jai Renner, the youngest of her siblings. Growing up, she was the most opinionated and outspoken of here siblings, unafraid of publicly disagreeing with her parents. When she was five, her parents discovered force powers in her, and called the Jedi Order to come and appraise her abilities. She promptly enrolled in the Jedi Academy and trained under her first master, who trained her largely in keeping in balance with the force, meditative abilities, and philosophy. He passed away when she was fourteen, and she was taken on by a different master, who taught her the ways of lightsaber combat, which she immediately excelled in. By age sixteen, she had mastered Shii-Cho, Soresu, Makashi, Ataru, and Djem-So. While she was working on Djem-So, she encountered her long lost brother, Ianto, who had been sent to kill her. After a long and brutal duel, Clara was able to defeat him, stabbing him twice and leaving him for dead. Afterwards, her training intensified, believing herself inadequate because of how long the duel with her brother lasted. At age twenty-one, she underwent the trial of spirit, as she had already shown the courage, skill, insight, and underwent the trial of the flesh at the hands of her brother. Clara looked into a bowl of water and saw herself lead at attack on Kaven Base, followed by an army of sith. She saw herself kill who she would later learn to be Loran Bendak, Dinaya Orslade, Sola Kerana, Caden Ferran, and Aurora Ferran. She backed away from the bowl and encountered a future, sith version of herself. The alternate Clara attempted to sway her to the dark side, but Clara refused and cut the alternate her's face off, passing the trial. She was named Jedi Knight by Grandmaster Luke Skywalker immediately afterwards. Clara resumed her training regimen, though would also train elder padawans in lightsaber combat, forcing them to learn more than one style of combat. In 2290, her father committed suicide, and she briefly returned to Earth, now an orphan, for the funeral. She returned to the Jedi Temple and re-entered her training regimen, the only home she knew. In 2298, Clara worked as a lightsaber combat instructor, and the council saw her as a potential Battlemaster for the order. However, Clara did not believe herself worthy for the role, and told a member of the Council to select a master or someone who had more experience in the field. One day, the Jedi Temple was visited by the Dark Lady of the Shade Sith, Darth Nymeria. After conversing with the council, convincing them of her peaceful intentions, Nymeria spoke to Clara, asking her for help dealing with an upcoming threat. After a moment's consideration, Clara accepted, and Nymeria vanished, claiming to return in a few days' time. Until Nymeria returned, Clara spent the few days training and studying intensively. On the first day, she sparred with ten Jedi Knights and won, resulting in all of them having a newfound awe for her, as well as her self-esteem hitting a considerable boost, as it was the highest number she had ever fought. She spent the next day surviving off of a single cup of Root Beer in the Jedi Library, where she studied Sith and Dark Jedi tactics all day before going to bed. On the third day, she fought against twenty Jedi Knights, and won. Nymeria then returned, alongside Caden Ferran, Aurora Ferran, Sola Kerana, Dinaya Orslade, Loran Bendak, and Ziva Harper. The group went to the Shade Sith Headquarters, where they spent a few weeks training. Over the course of these few weeks, Clara orchestrated the reunion of Caden and Ziva as a couple, as well as helped him mend relationships with his sister. She also proved her skills in fighting again, when she defeated Neil Kenway, Battlemaster of the Shades. When she was trapped in a house with Ziva and Aurora as a team building experiment, Neil snuck in and harassed them, but Clara's presence ultimately caused him to leave. Following the team getting news of Caden being knocked unconscious by Neil, and Aurora and Ziva losing faith in their mission, Clara took charge and saw the three of them locked up in Aurora's bedroom, where they camped out because of safety in numbers, as Neil was branded a traitor and she expected him to return for them. When Nymeria was in a coma and Kensa Gev was in charge, Clara got the disheartened group together at the base's bar to rejuvenate their spirits, and jokingly kissed both Caden and Ziva. This was the catalyst to her starting to fall for Caden. She had a dream one night of Neil killing the group as she watched, and became slightly on edge afterwards. When Kensa left with Sola and Dinaya to meet with Konstantin Valerius, Clara entered a bet with Loran and Aurora that she could last longer than them surviving in the woods surrounding the base. She won the bet, but returned to the base after sensing the presence of her brother, Ianto on base. She returned and discovered that Sola and Dinaya were off training with Konstantin while Ianto would train with them. She had a violent outburst towards Ianto, which was only halted following the entire group trying to restrain her and the newly awakened Nymeria knocking her out with the force. When she awoke, she attacked Ianto again, but was pulled away by Caden. He proceeded to talk sense into the chaotic mind of Clara, and she confessed her dream to him. As he comforted her, she nearly made a move to make him fall for her, but restrained herself, knowing it wouldn't happen. Instead, she asked how things were with him and Ziva, and after she learned they were going fine, her heart slowly started breaking. When Caden asked if she would ever settle down, and she said there was one man she knew who she had feelings for whom she had met at the Jedi Temple, but he was taken. He tried to encourage her, but she brushed it away and went off to attempt to reconcile with Ianto, which was a failed effort. In the following two weeks, she became progressively more depressed until they deployed to pick up Sola and Dinaya. On the flight to the ship, she was question by Aurora how she was doing, which she brushed off, lying that it was about her brother. When Caden spoke to her, admitting he knew of her feelings for him, she told him she was going to return to the temple alone. He attempted to convince her to join the group back to Earth, but she refused, saying she needed spiritual guidance Kaven Base was not renowned for. After picking up Sola and Dinaya and dropping Nymeria off, Sen Renner, her cousin, comforted her on the matter. Midway through the conversation, their ship was shot down by something. When the crash was revealed to be caused by Sennes, Clara, Aurora, and Ziva snuck around Sennes' army of followers, which was being dealt with by Sola, Dinaya, and Ianto, and snuck into Sennes' hidden base. In a hangar underground, Clara was temporarily incapacitated by the traitorous Neil, who attacked the group and wounded Ziva and Aurora. Caden then arrived, after supposedly helping to deal with Sennes, and he and Clara defeated Neil, causing him to flee. Clara, sensing Sennes was still alive, took the wounded Ziva and Aurora back to the main group, which had joined together to nurse the wounded Loran, dropped off Ziva and Aurora, and she went back down the underground elevator alone. When she was found by the following Caden and Sen, she had defeated fifty dark acolytes, which were revealed to be Sennes clones. The true Sennes before them, the three confronted him, but he sent Sen through a wall, incapacitating him, and trapped Caden in a containment cell. Clara dueled Sennes alone, using a strange, thin, pale blue lightsaber she had stolen from Neil. Sennes' raw power was too much for Clara, and she was defeated. Her life was saved by Sen, who, with the help of his grandfather's spirit, killed Sennes. Sennes' essence floated into the air in two clouds, one black, the other glowing white. While the black cloud vanished, the white one was absorbed by Clara, giving her a large portion of Sennes' power. While she was unconscious from the fight, Clara was cradled by the worried Caden. Upon her awakening, she again reaffirmed the fact she loved him. However, when she was given an opportunity to have a romantic moment with him, she refused, saying she would not be able to live with possibly breaking Ziva's heart. She did, however, force him to carry her up to the rest of the group. Back at Shade HQ, four days later, Clara watched over the unconscious Aurora, and, upon her awakening, led her to the severely wounded Loran, who had lost both his arms to a powerful Sennes clone. She then spoke to Sen about how he killed Sennes, where she learned that Sen Urec had been one of the most powerful force users in history, more powerful than Sennes and Konstantin, but he never used his full power, for fear of the power corrupting him. She then had a short goodbye with Ianto, who expressed that despite everything, it had been good to see her. She was then dropped off at the Jedi temple, despite Caden's wishes for her to join them. She spent the next month at the temple working to get over her depression over Caden, and took to writing songs, poems, and drawing as a way to get it out of her system, and she kept a notebook on her at all times afterwards. She attended Loran and Aurora's wedding, and went on a tour of Kaven Base with Caden after the ceremony. She spent the night at the Ferran home, and then boarded a flight back to Coruscant the next day. Over the next several years, Clara began to show signs of a much darker, angrier side, which was evidenced by emotional outbursts that tended to be violent in nature. She began to go through meditative training to control said outbursts, which worked for many years. In 2315, however, when she was reunited with Caden, Aurora, Ziva, and Loran amidst a confrontation with Konstantin The Reborn, outbursts on her part started becoming more frequent. The most notable one was when she learned of Harribel's existence. Afterwards, Clara renounced all affiliation with her blood relatives, aside from Sen Renner and his family. She then began working with the four, Jennifer Donovan, Emily Gi, and Konstantin to bring down Ianto. Clara also took to drawing things that infuriated or depressed her, and drew Konstantin twice, after their initial confrontation and the first disastrous training session with him. She was also given high doses of Amber, which increased her strength and speed greatly. During this time, she had the most emotional outbursts, destroying a training room as well as destroying a med-bay door after being put into a three-day coma by Harribel. When she awoke, she found her cousin Sen had joined them, and he made sure that she didn't do anything extreme. Instead, she simply swore to kill Ianto or Harribel if she ever got the chance. Several days later, Clara had an intense training fight with Ziva, which ultimately ended with victory for Clara. However, both needed medical attention afterwards, and they quickly went to the medical bay. At the end of the day, Clara and Ziva had received the least wounds. When the others arrived, unconscious, Clara entered a fit of anger and started to question why they had agreed to help the Gallifreyians. Ziva pointed out that it was Clara's brother that they were going after, to which Clara furiously denied that he was her brother. When Konstantin had come down to check on the group, Clara was enraged by the sight of him, as he had been the one to wound Caden and Loran so badly. She promptly punched him in the face before being dragged away by Ziva and Sen, who had regained consciousness. Luckily, when Loran awoke, he was able to defuse the tense situation by suggesting the enlistment of another Plane's survivors, the Marethari. The next day, when she had calmed down, she took to training alone in the early hours of the morning. She was interrupted by the arrival of Konstantin, who proceeded to tell her about her special saber. The saber was actually a Marethari Blade used by the Marethari high commander Orothrim. They were interrupted by the appearance of Neil Kenway, who was being enlisted to help as Loran had learned he was a Gallifreyian-Marethari hybrid, or Shandia. Later, the food the group was fed reacted badly with their amber injections, creating a strong desire to procreate among them. Clara and her new roommate, Ziva, very nearly did so, were it not for the fact that Clara's general fear of love took over and ended the moment. In 2316, Clara was diagnosed with Nocturnal-Nymeria Syndrome, a disease named for constant visions of the past, present, and future that Clara would have in her sleep. Vision intensity varied. Clara had a severe case, meaning that it did not wear off over time. In January of that year, Clara began to travel the universe in search of a purpose and meaning in her life. In the early stages of her travels, she was stopped in her ship by a pirate band. Their leader had his second in command, a large man with a large axe, to kill Clara. After she easily dispatched him, she proceeded to quickly kill the captain, you used the lightsaber of a dead Jedi. Clara took the blade, a green lightsaber designed more for fencing than anything else, and quickly killed the rest of the crew. She looted the ship of anything useful before leaving once again. That night, Clara had a vision of herself dueling an opponent armored similarly to Konstantin's original armor. After she awoke, she landed her ship on the border planet where she had fought Sennes, and she went down to the world. After a day of finding nothing in the desert, Clara flipped through an old photo album she had begun to keep. That night, Clara's vision detailed her with much of her group and sitting with a woman she had never met, all preparing for a battle led by the same foe from her previous vision. That day, she found a small town and learned that all of its inhabitants were at the gladiator pits. When she arrived, she saw that most of the gladiators were criminals. She spoke to the woman next to her, where she learned anyone could volunteer for the fights. Clara took to the sands of the arena and dispatched criminal after criminal. When she was confronted with a volunteer like her, she left the arena, knowing she could not kill an innocent person. Her dream that night consisted of her amidst a field of bodies. She saw the woman she had met in the arena, who used glowing purple-studded gloves and spoke to the bodies. The two jumped on a gunship, where Clara spotted someone she knew to be a friend. When Clara awoke, she found a note saying that she would meet the writer in 2321. The note was signed "The Soulweaver" Clara quickly checked her security tapes and found that the woman who was in her dream had visited her and left the note, walking right through the walls of her ship. Clara quickly did a facial-recognition test with her computer and found the name of the person was Diana Algren, a woman who lived on Earth. Clara quickly took off and headed for Earth. Midway through the trip, Clara's hyperdrive began to malfunction, leaving her drifting in space. A massive unknown ship used a tractor beam to pull her in, and Clara prepared to fight her way out. Luckily, it turned out to be the HCS Spartacus, Sola and Dinaya's ship. After a happy reunion with Dinaya in the hangar, Dinaya took her to Sola's room, where they found her asleep. Clara prodded her, and Sola tackled her unexpectedly before realizing it was her. Sola and Dinaya took her on a tour of the ship before showing Clara a program in Sola's computer that allowed them to see any known person in the universe through the force. When Dinaya left and Sola went to get drinks, Clara quickly looked into what Caden was doing before shutting the program down. After Clara and Sola visited for a few minutes, a tremor rocked the ship, and they went down the main room where people relaxed, which was designed to look like a city park. There was a fire on one side of the room, and the two ran over to investigate and help. Clara began to treat one of the wounded. As the fire died down and things calmed down, the man told Clara they had met before. Clara, Sola, and Dinaya investigated the site, but another Ghost Jedi found the remains of a bomb, answering their questions for them.Upon Sola's advice, Clara slept in Sola's room for the night, where she dreamed of herself being wounded in a snowy forest under the wreckage of a gunship. She stumbled through the forest and saw someone who she knew to be her deadliest foe about to kill Caden. The next day, Sola showed her a hall with statues of masters of the force who had passed on. Sola explained that those with statues erected had had a significant impact on Ghost Jedi culture. The main statue was of Sen Urec, who Clara learned had taught Ryan Ferran, Sola, someone named Vanguard, and Dinaya. Sola took Clara to Dinaya's room, where Dinaya would then take her to the training area. At the training area, she met a highly skilled young Ghost by the name of Nathan, who was the one she had treated at the bomb site. Over the next two weeks, the two grew close. One day, Sola brought Clara a file indicating that Nathan was not actually a Ghost. Clara met Nathan at a bar and, while under the influence, heard his story about a dead wife and daughters, and how Clara reminded him of his wife. Clara had another drink and the two wound up spending the night together. Her vision that night detailed her dueling the foe from her previous dreams. When she awoke, she showered and got dressed. After getting dressed, she saw a button on the counter and pressed it. It revealed the armor of her foe from her dreams. Unexpectedly, she was blasted through a wall and into the pond of the park room. Nathan, now clad in his armor, revealed himself to be Neil Kenway. She tried to fight him, but he overpowered her and knocked her unconscious. When she awoke, she found that she now had a black and gold arm prosthetic on her right arm, just below the elbow. She also had a permanent white scar from her right shoulder to left hip. Sola assured Clara that they were going after Neil, and they went after him the next day, accompanied by a pair of ghosts named Vitor Rogan and Lurin. Sola and Dinaya gave Clara and armor made of phrik and cortosis that pulsed with purple force energy. Before they left to confront Neil, Clara contacted Aurora to warn her and her family that Neil was still at large. She ended up telling Aurora the full story about how she slept with him, making a comment that it was a hell of a first time for anyone. When they confronted Neil on the moon of a border world, the fight became a massacre. Lurin was killed, Vitor was wounded, and in the end, Neil escaped. The only positive was Clara discovered she could use force lightning, and had signature purple lightning. She attended the funeral of Lurin to learn that he was Loran's uncle. Heeding Dinaya's request, Clara promised to not tell Loran of his uncle's existence. She left the Spartacus once the funeral had ended. She also started to wear false skin over her mechanical arm. In 2317, Clara traveled to Mandalore, where she briefly trained with Morrigan Sigurdson and her friends before absently falling asleep on a public bench. When she woke up, she found that she was surrounded by thugs, and broke one of their arms when he made a bawdy comment. She turned to face the rest, but found that they had been annihilated by a woman with a spiked chain. The woman took Clara to Earth through teleportation, and then obtained her ship. Clara stayed with the woman in her bus-house, and, beguiled by the woman's otherworldly charms, wound up sleeping with the woman that night, learning her name was Zyana Reed. The next morning, Clara was in her ship and checked outside, where she saw a different Zyana cannibalizing victims. Clara jumped in her ship and fled to Kaven Base, where she landed in the Ferrans' back yard and started seeing Zyana in every person she saw. Thrown into a panic, Clara started to violently run away from everyone before being knocked out by Loran. She awoke in a med bay with Sen in the room, and he explained that no one had gotten hurt. She wound up confessing everything that had happened, and then showed him her mechanical limb, making him promise to tell no one. She spent the day reuniting with the Ferrans and then met the rest of her extended family with Sen. In the conversation, Clara bonded with Leah Acadal, one of her cousins. That night, she had a dream of Zyana, who explained everything and how the demon half of her only eats evil people as she sends them to hell. She woke up early and went to make breakfast, where she found Ziva in the living room, reading a news-tablet. They had a slightly tense conversation, where Clara learned that Loran's force telekinesis had been increasing in power dramatically. At the end of the interaction, Clara read Ziva's tablet to learn that her two siblings, Ashley and Jai, had been killed in a bombing of a bar. Somewhat unperturbed, Clara made breakfast, as she had renounced affiliation with them. She spent the whole day training with the Ferrans and her relatives. Late at night, she found Ziva's news tablet and found a video of Neil, confessing that he had killed her siblings and was waiting for her. She remembered that Leah had mentioned the Assassins might had information on Neil, and left to her ship to go to the Assassin base in Syria. She arrived at the fortress of Masyaf and used the force to trick a few guards into letting her in. When an assassin higher-up approached her, she confessed to sneaking in illegally, using Leah's membership of the order as an excuse. As a few apprentices ran by, she heard that there was a duel between the master assassin's apprentice and another, she decided to follow. She watched the duel and saw that the master's apprentice, a young woman, won the fight. Clara followed the woman into the fortress and found out it was Leah. They two promptly spent the day together and had a sparring match, in which Clara defeated Leah without much effort, but still praised her cousin's abilities. That night, she snuck into the fortress and found that Neil's last known location was Mandalore, and prepared to leave. Before she could, Nymeria showed up and took her to the Shade Sith Headquarters, where she revealed that they were preparing an army to deal with Neil. Clara spent the next year working as the Shades' battlemaster and blademaster, eventually becoming the third in command of the group. After the year, they sent half their forces to join the Ghost Jedi on the Spartacus to prepare for war against Neil. Clara had a brief reunion with Sola and Vitor before they left, and Kensa then took Clara down to the archives. In the archives, Clara met Arucane, one of the few Marethari survivors. He told her of a legend in one of her old books about a creature called the Skulblaka, and warned her that Neil was trying to find the Skulblaka to access its power, which would make him more powerful than the Gallifreyians. With that, Arucane vanished, and Clara and Kensa felt a series of tremors coming from the surface, and rushed there, where they found the base under attack. Neil was there and slaughtering everyone. He quickly killed Kensa and defeated Clara, only for her to be rescued by Nymeria. Nymeria took her to a forest on a planet Clara didn't know about and told her to wait in a village for Sola to come and get her. Nymeria then vanished, and Clara never saw her again. Clara made her way to the village. On the way there, she was attacked by a pair of people dressed as samurai warriors. She dealt with them and stole one of their swords. When she made it to the village, she entered a tavern, where she was attacked by four samurai, who she killed with ease. She exited the tavern, and was confronted by another twenty. Before the fight could begin, smoke bombs detonated and Clara was knocked out by an unknown assailant. Clara awoke to find herself hanging upside down by a tree, her assailant sitting by a fire. She attempted to climb up the rope used to hang her, but failed, accidentally cutting the rope. Her assailant attacked her and the two had a furious unarmed fight, ending with Clara throwing him into the fire and kicking him in the temple, killing him. She obtained her equipment and fled further into the forest. Clara's portable armor started to beep, and when she touched it, a hologram of Sola arose. Sola told Clara her assailant was Scott Sigurdson, and told her to stay in the forest until Sola came to get her. Clara slept the night in a cave, and dreamed of herself being rescued by Morrigan Sigurdson and an unknown woman, a partner of hers being recently killed, and a glowing orange light in the sky. The next morning, Clara found her way to a Shaolin-like temple and slipped into the kitchen, where she was discovered by a group of monks. The monks fed her and introduced her to their master. Midway through their conversation, the Samurai from before attacked the temple. Clara, using a katana she had stolen, joined the defense and killed many of the samurai alongside the monks. The master offered her a place in the temple, which she accepted, and he showed her a well filled with souls. He called it the well of lost souls, and the soul of her uncle, Sean Renner came up and asked that she find his wife, Elle Urec, and tell her to move on from him and that their daughter, Sasha Urec, was doing fine. Once Sean disappeared, the master gave Clara a set of monk robes and sent her to meditate. Clara spent the next year living at the temple. Personality and Traits Clara is a very outspoken and opinionated person. She will speak her mind unless ordered not to or muted. She cares about her family very much, despite distancing herself, and will defend them, and anyone close to her, at a moment's notice. She tends to make friends with ease, if she wants to, and will bond with another force-user more easily then someone else. Normally casual in regular conversations, she will turn to deadly serious in a nanosecond if something triggers it. Clara would develop a robotic and clinical way of thinking as an Erachi, which would be criticized and called out by both her sister-in-law, Aurora, and her daughter, Keryn. She would overcome this after a period of working on it. Following the slaying of her husband, Clara began to show an even softer, more compassionate side that would come to stand at the forefront of her personality. This would be multiplied after the death of her daughter during the Collapse. Clara is not the strongest force user. She was able to perfect many different techniques, but they are weaker in comparison to other users. Her powers are described as being of average level. By 2300, Clara was described by many to be the best swordsman in the universe. Clara denies said beliefs, saying that that could only be confirmed by having her fight every single swordsman in existence. Clara has three lightsabers which she uses in battle. The first of which was the saber she built on a trip to Ilum, which has a yellow blade. She was initially meant to be a Jedi Sentinel, but fast became more talented as a Guardian. Many thought she ought to switch to blue, but she refused, not wanting to replace her first blade. Her second saber is a white bladed double ended saber. Following The Collapse, she built and mastered the use of a yellow bladed crossguard lightsaber. Relationships Caden Ferran Clara started out as a friend to Caden, helping him with his family and relationship problems. However, as she grew to know him, she started falling in love with him, feelings that weren't reciprocated. Despite this, he remained friendly to her, and once she had accepted the fact that they probably weren't going to get together, she contacted him every now and then after the mission they went on together. In 2321, three weeks after Ziva's supposed death, Clara, to her amazement, soon entered a relationship with Caden. She was oblivious to his initial use of her as a coping mechanism, and when genuine feelings grew from him, she was soon accepted into his family, which she viewed as a bit of a formality. Following Ziva's actual death, Clara did everything she could to make sure Caden stopped going through the heartbreak he had experienced that far into his life. She was fully aware of his new protectiveness over her, and reciprocated it completely. Just prior to the final battle of the Skulblakan Invasion, the two married in a private Mandalorian ceremony. Aurora Ferran Clara holds a heavy admiration for Aurora, as Aurora is more emotionally and mentally sound and sorted than Clara is. After their mission together, Clara began contacting Aurora a few times a month, both for advice on things such as meditation and more spiritual aspects of the force. When Clara began to be with Caden, she was initially worried about how Aurora would feel about her, but once she was generally accepted, she began to look up to Aurora even more, this time as an older sister. Loran Bendak Clara views Loran differently than the others, and sees something in him that distinguishes him from the others. She remains friendly and curious about him, feeling as though he has a destiny for great things. Once Clara was accepted as a part of Caden's family, she began to look at Loran as a brother. Keryn Renner During Keryn's upbringing, Clara became obsessed with the knowledge that when her daughter was of age there would be beings that had overpowered her that would try to kill Keryn later in life. This obsession would go on to permeate much of Clara's personality and would cause her to prioritize Keryn over most other things in her life. Due to this, Clara and Keryn grew up incredibly close to one another, with Keryn sometimes being the only one to talk sense into Clara when Clara's stubborn obsessions took over. Clara loves Keryn and would do anything for her. Jace Ferran The relationship between Clara and her son is often described as rocky and less than ideal. Due to Clara's obsessions with keeping her daughter safe and able to defeat any that might come for her, she often neglected Jace or favored Keryn in many things. Due to this there has been a level of disconnection and distance between the two. When Clara realized this, she was wracked with guilt over it and attempts to try and make it up to Jace, despite knowing that there would never be any true forgiveness from him. Despite this, she still loves Jace every bit as much as his sister and would do anything for him. Gallery ClaraSaber.jpg|Clara's lightsaber.
